Devonta Freeman Doesn't Practice Wednesday

Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman (foot) did not practice on Wednesday. He's no longer listed with his knee injury, but Freeman hasn't been able to stay healthy this year. Freeman fell flat in his return last week, running just eight times for 32 yards (4.0 yards per carry). It's unclear if his new injury […]

Deshaun Watson, DeAndre Hopkins, Lamar Miller Limited

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson (chest), wide receivers DeAndre Hopkins (foot), Will Fuller (hamstring) and rookie Keke Coutee (hamstring), running back Lamar Miller (chest) and tight end Ryan Griffin (toe) were all limited in practice Wednesday. Watson and Miller say they will both for sure play against the Bills this weekend. While Watson took a […]

Marlon Mack, Anthony Castonzo Practice In Full

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack (hamstring) and left tackle Anthony Castonzo (hamstring) both practiced in full on Wednesday. It's looking like Mack will make his return this week, complicating what has been a mediocre committee this year. Mack has played in just one game so far this year and had 10 carries for 34 […]

No Practice For Giovani Bernard, Tyler Kroft

Cincinnati Bengals running back Giovani Bernard (knee) and tight end Tyler Kroft (foot) are both sitting out of practice on Wednesday. Bernard is expected to miss at least another week or two. Joe Mixon will continue to be a low-end RB1 as the lead horse in the backfield. Kroft could be looking at a multi-week […]

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Week 6

Whether due to their own play, the play of others, or injuries, players' stock increases and decreases on a weekly basis. Perhaps more than any other, the NFL is a league that experiences ups and downs at a rapid pace. With only 16 games, there’s little room for error and seemingly endless opportunities for improvement. […]

Disaster Recovery Week 5: Kamara's Missing Touches

Welcome to Disaster Recovery, where each week I'll examine why your studs played like duds. This isn't a place to find out why you should have benched a player for somebody on your bench.

Warning Signals for RB/WR/TE - Week 6

Every year, certain players are highly drafted in drafts by fantasy owners due to the belief that they will vastly outperform expectations throughout the season. Oftentimes, these players carry a significant amount of hype due to breakout potential, elite status, or lack of alternative options on their teams. However, with every player that does meet […]

Isaiah Crowell Missing Practice Wednesday

New York Jets running back Isaiah Crowell (ankle), cornerback Trumaine Johnson and wide receivers Andre Roberts and Charone Peake did not practice on Wednesday. It's unclear how serious Crowell's injury is, but he managed over 200 yards on the ground against Denver in Week 5 and could just be getting some much-needed rest. If active, […]

Smashmouth: Offensive Lines Impacting Fantasy Football (Week 6)

Onto Week 6 in the NFL and the season has started to take its toll on tons of players. The Eagles’ Jay Ajayi is out for the year with a torn ACL, leading to an opportunity for both Corey Clement and Wendall Smallwood to pick up the slack and be fantasy assets for the remainder […]

Is Case Keenum Holding The Broncos Back?

After a 2-0 start, the Denver Broncos have lost three straight games and are at a crossroads after five games with a daunting home matchup against the 5-0 Los Angeles Rams on deck in Week 6. The downfall started with a road loss at Baltimore and a heartbreaking home defeat to the Chiefs and star […]

Christian McCaffrey A Locked-In Starter This Week

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey should return great value this week in fantasy football. So far this season McCaffrey has not had a game where he has not had less than 90 yards (combined rushing and receiving). McCaffrey will look to add to the single touchdown he has scored against the New York Giants […]

Corey Clement Will Play Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles running back Corey Clement (quadriceps) practiced in full all week and is off the final injury report for Thursday night against the Giants. Clement will return after missing the last two weeks, and he should be in line for a sizeable role alongside Wendell Smallwood with Jay Ajayi (knee) out for the season. […]

Darren Sproles Out Against Giants

Philadelphia Eagles running back Darren Sproles (hamstring) missed practice all week and has been ruled out for Thursday night against the Giants. The veteran back hasn't played since being injured in Week 1, although he could return after more rest in Week 7. Those that lost out on waiver claims for Wendell Smallwood and Corey […]

Leonard Fournette Could Sit Out Through Bye Week

The Jacksonville Jaguars are considering sitting running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring) out through their Week 9 bye. Fournette was already ruled out for Week 6 against the Cowboys on Wednesday, and there is concern for him re-injuring his right hamstring. He hurt his leg initially in Week 1 and aggravated it in the second half […]

Lamar Miller Says He'll Play

Houston Texans running back Lamar Miller (chest) said he will definitely play in Week 6 against the Bills. Miller was active last Sunday night but didn't play at all, and he's been a disappointment to fantasy owners with no rushing touchdowns in four games. If he continues to struggle, D'Onta Foreman (Achilles) could be in […]

Rookies Worth Your Attention in Week 6

In this column, we will look at rookies who have either performed well the previous few weeks or who have a favorable matchup in the upcoming week. These may be high-profile names or under-the-radar depth players; the only thing that matters is that they are first-year pros ready to make a name for themselves. Ideally, […]

Rashaad Penny The Third Option In Seattle Backfield

Seattle Seahawks rookie running back Rashaad Penny, the team's first-round pick, played zero offensive snaps and just one snap on special teams in the Week 5 loss to the Rams. Seattle has rediscovered their ground game with an NFL-leading 473 yards in the last three games, but Penny has not been very involved. He has […]

Ezekiel Elliott Is the Only Cowboy Worth Using in Week 6

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott is the only Cowboys offensive player worth using in fantasy leagues in Week 6. Elliott has been held to 90 total yards or less in three of the five games so far this season, but he's still a usage hog, getting an average of 23 touches per week. He […]

49ers Work Out Running Backs

The San Francisco 49ers worked out free-agent running backs Charcandrick West, Matt Dayes, Shane Vereen, Andre Ellington and Jeremy McNichols this week and signed Dayes to their practice squad, according to a source. With Matt Breida (ankle) highly questionable to play on Monday night against Green Bay, the Niners are looking for some depth at […]

Ben Roethlisberger Goes To Bat For James Conner

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger thinks running back James Conner absolutely needs to remain in the game plan when Le'Veon Bell returns from his holdout in Week 8. Conner had 110 rushing yards, 75 receiving yards and two touchdowns in Week 5 and has been great in Bell's absence. “And I will push for James […]

Corey Clement, Wendell Smallwood Could Mix and Match

The Philadelphia Eagles are expected to use running backs Corey Clement and Wendell Smallwood in a tandem approach on Thursday night against the Giants. The Philadelphia Inquirer's Zach Berman believes the Eagles trust Smallwood much more than they did last year and have been happy with the way he's played in 2018. Clement is the […]

The Tape Tells All - Breaking Down Isaiah Crowell's Week 5 Performance

Welcome back to "The Tape Tells All," where this week I'll be looking at Jets running back Isaiah Crowell, who ran for 219 yards and a touchdown on 15 carries against the Denver Broncos in Week 5. Crowell's performance comes as a major surprise. In Week 4 against Jacksonville, he managed to turn four carries […]

Leonard Fournette Officially Ruled Out For Week 6

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring) has been officially ruled out for Week 6 against the Cowboys, according to head coach Doug Marrone. Fournette's disappointing season continues, and he's not necessarily a lock to return in Week 7 either. Until he's back, T.J. Yeldon will continue to be the man in the backfield and […]

Wendell Smallwood a Solid Option in Week 6

Philadelphia Eagles running back Wendell Smallwood is a solid option for Week 6 against the New York Giants on Thursday Night Football. Smallwood has been effective when given the opportunity, finishing two of the past three weeks as the RB14 or better. Now that Jay Ajayi (torn ACL) is done for the season, Smallwood and […]

Corey Clement the Preferred Eagles Option for Week 6

Philadelphia Eagles running back Corey Clement was deemed "100 percent, good to go" for Week 6 by coach Doug Pederson. With Jay Ajayi (torn ACL) out for the season, Clement and Wendell Smallwood will be splitting backfield work for the Eagles. Despite coming off a quad injury, Clement is the preferred fantasy option this week […]

Duke Johnson Can't Be Trusted In Week 6

Cleveland Browns running back Duke Johnson has been struggling to see touches in Todd Haley's offense in 2018. Through five games, Johnson has seen just 27 touches. While he used to be a solid RB2 in PPR leagues, the Browns just aren't using him as much this season, which makes him hard to trust in […]

Carlos Hyde A Low-End RB2 In Week 6

Cleveland Browns running back Carlos Hyde had a string of six straight games with a touchdown snapped in Week 5 against the Baltimore Ravens. The veteran runner will look to start a new streak when the Los Angeles Chargers come to Cleveland in Week 6. The Chargers' run defense represents a solid matchup for Hyde […]
